All American vs. Jacks or Better


All American video poker pays out higher for straight flush, four of a kind, flush and straight, although it pays out lower for two pair. The differences in the payouts are larger for the middle hands and small for the two pair payout. However, keep in mind that when you play video poker, the middle hands of straight flush, four of a kind, flush and straight are dealt 2-3% of the time, while the two pair hand is dealt 13% of the time. This means that the payout for the middle hands will make a bigger difference on a smaller number of occasions, while the lower hand will make a smaller difference on a larger number of occasions.The pay table in the game is the same as for Jacks or Better with a minimum payout for a pair of Jacks or Better. The difference lies in the payout for some of the poker hands, particularly those in the middle. All American poker is played with a single deck of 52 cards and includes no wild cards.
